- 'Antioxidant levels' – yeah, matcha has them, but the numbers are meaningless without context.
- 'Caffeine content' – unless you're super sensitive, it's similar across ceremonial matchas.
- 'Price per gram' – higher price doesn't always mean better; you're often paying for packaging.
- 'Best by date' – matcha does go stale, but a few weeks past doesn't ruin it. Use your nose.
So there you have it. For a weekend brew, keep it simple: first harvest, known origin, and a color that pops. Ignore the rest. Your taste buds will thank you.
